Solid Defense | Mastering the Art of Guard Position in Boxing

It's amazing how sometimes we can over-complicate aspects of boxing. But it's awals good to remember that simple works. A good basic principle of boxing defense is that if you keep your hands ina. guard guard position then you will block a good proportion of the punches coming your way. So, for good boxing defense, always start with the basic principle that keeping your hands in a good guard position is a pretty good idea.

thanks coach the number 11 example will help me❤ my hands always end up dropping the more tired i get and because i grew up doing taekwondo where you keep your hands low but im practising boxing every day and trying to fix old habits👍

Cross arm, reverse cross arm(Gene fullmer), and peekaboo guard are more squared up. Muay Thai and most kickboxing is squared up for checking kicks. MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing people would probably love a breakdown from you on those guards.

In a self-defense situation, without gloves, is there a special way to protect yourself?

[@thewolfofwokest7521]

Is this the first time you've considered this problem?

[@surrealistidealist]

@@thewolfofwokest7521 Yes and no. I've been in self-defense situations before, but never really had to rely on a guard position while standing. There was never much time and everything was so chaotic.

[@thewolfofwokest7521]

@@surrealistidealist protect your head, keep your elbows in and control the distance unless you are comfortable wrestling.

[@surrealistidealist]

@@thewolfofwokest7521 I'm comfortable with wrestling and Brazilian jujitsu, but I only rely on groundwork as a last resort, never a first resort. I'd like to use boxing because it feels the quickest in an emergency, but when there are no gloves its harder to block.

Duck and pivot of the center line then back up if they dont turn properly they won't be able to track ou fast enough
